Dear Marky,
I’d like to preface this letter by acknowledging the determination and dedication our mother has for you. She has been able to start a movement in the name of you and everything you stand for.
As your sister, I feel blessed to have the opportunity to know someone as kind and innocent and gentle as you are. You do not see the cruelty in this world, and that is something everyone is not able to claim. Sometimes I am scared for you and your future, I innately want to protect you from the evils and hardness of real life. Although I know that we only have control over ourselves and cannot control the forces of nature that surround and influence our everyday life, I also realize there will be people who come into your life that don’t know about the gifts that you teach n all you do. Many may not understand why you may do the things you do. Do not let their lack of knowledge and naivety taint your soul.
I know that I can only protect you when I’m with you and as you get older those moments lessen, but you are smart and I know you will continue to change and impact this world.
You are one of a kind Marky, stay raw and stay innocent.
We, your family will be here for you always no matter what.
Words cannot begin to explain the emotions and experiences you have taught me and allowed me to feel.
I love you so very much!
Your Sister,
Ashley
